Loading the Batteries

Batteries are required to operate the digital camera. Atfirst, load the batteries in the camera.

Z Compatible batteries

AA-size alkaline batteries (2) or AA-size Ni-MHrechargeable batteries (2) (sold separately)

CAUTION

Never use the following types ofbatteries, as they could cause

serious problems such as batteryfluid leakage or overheating:1.Batteries with split or peeling

outer casings2.Combinations of different types

of batteries or new and used batteries together Do not use manganese, Ni-Cd or lithium batteries. Use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline

batteries as those supplied with the camera.

1 Open the battery cover.

CHECK

Check that the camera is turned off before opening thebattery cover.

CAUTION

Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on.This could damage the Memory Card or ruin the imagefiles on the Memory Card.

Do not apply force to the battery cover.

Loading the Batteries

Checking the battery charge

Turn the camera on and check the battery level indicatoron the LCD monitor.

AThere is ample battery charge. (Not displayed)

BThere is insufficient charge left in the batteries. The

batteries will soon run out. Have a new set of batteriesready. (Lit red)

CThe batteries are depleted. The display will shortly go

blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or

recharge the batteries. (Blinking red)

CAUTION

Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries,can shorten time for which the batteries can be used.

The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referredto hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used

varies depending on the brand. Some brands of alkalinebatteries may stop providing power more quickly thanthose supplied with the camera. Note also that due totheir nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can beused decreases in cold conditions (0C to +10C/+32Fto +50F). For this reason, it is better to use AA-size Ni-MH batteries.

Due to the nature of the battery, the battery levelindicator ( , or V) may appear early when thecamera is used in cold locations. Try warming thebattery in your pocket or a similar location before use.

Depending on the battery type and the level of chargein the batteries, the camera may run out of powerwithout first displaying a battery level warning. This isparticularly likely to happen when batteries that haverun out of charge once are re-used.

Depending on the camera mode, the transition fromto Vmay occur more quickly.

See p.117-118 for information on the batteries. When first purchased or if left unused for a long period,

the amount of time which AA-size Ni-MH batteries canbe used may be short. See p.118 for more information.

Battery power consumption varies greatly dependingon use. When you change to Playback mode fromPhotography mode, may not occur, however,

Vmay suddenly blink red and the camera may stopoperation.

Subjects photographed through glass Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames Dark subjects Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and

the background (such as subjects dressed in the same coloras the background)

Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) isclose to the AF frame and is either closer or further awaythan your subject (such as a shot of someone against abackground with strongly contrasting elements)

For such subjects use AF/AE lock (p.31).
